In this paper we present a new method for the production of bubble-liquid suspensions ~from now on BLS! composed of micron-sized bubbles and with gas to liquid volume ratios larger than unity. We show that the BLS gas fraction l5Qg /Ql , being Qg and Ql the flow rates of gas and liquid, respectively, is controlled by a dimensionless parameter which accounts for the ratio of the gas pressure ins...

vanadium phosphorus oxides (vpo) has been applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in gas phase oxidation reactions and its application is very limited in liquid phase. in this study a series of cobalt-doped vanadium phosphorus oxides (vpo-co) catalysts with different loading of co (0.01-1.0 mol ratio of co/v) were prepared. oxidation of benzyl alcohol was studied in the liquid phase over vpo and vp...

the paper introducedeffects of modified pyrolysis tar on flue gas desulfurization. this experiment selected the pyrolysis tar as the raw material, researched the effects on desulfurization performance under different modification solution, concentration, solid liquid ratio of pyrolysis tar and modified solution, calcination temperature and calcination time by 16 group orthogonal experiments. th...

multiphase impeller stirred tank reactors enhance mixing of reacting species used in a variety of chemical industries. these reactors have been studied based on computational fluid dynamics (cfd) that can be used in the analysis, design and scale up of these reactors. most of the researches done in this area are limited to single phase reactors, and a few remaining two phase flow investigations...

Liquid/gas flows are experimentally investigated in 200 and 525 mm square microchannels made of glass and silicon. Liquid and gas are mixed in a cross-shaped section in a way to produce steady and homogeneous flows of monodisperse bubbles. Two-phase flow map and transition lines between flow regimes are examined. Bubble velocity and slip ratio between liquid and gas are measured. Flow patterns ...

This work is a primary achievement in studying the CO2 and N2–oil systems. To predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a Shan-Chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2D porous media is developed. Periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the Guo scheme for the external body force (i.e.,...

Aptly named, ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune contain significant amounts of water. While this water cannot be present near the cloud tops, it must be abundant in the deep interior. We investigate the likelihood of a liquid water ocean existing in the hydrogen-rich region between the cloud tops and deep interior. Starting from an assumed temperature at a given upper tropospheric pressure (...

pyrolysis of low density polyethylene (ldpe) by equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking (fcc) was studied in a stirred reactor under different process parameters. in this work, the effect of process parameters such as degradation temperature (420-510°c), catalyst/polymer ratio (0-60%), carrier gas type (h2, n2, ethylene, propylene, ar and he), residence time and agitator speed (0-300 rpm) on the c...

We consider two stacked ultrathin layers of different liquids on a solid substrate. Using long-wave theory, we derive coupled evolution equations for the free liquid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces. Depending on the long-range van der Waals forces and the ratio of the layer thicknesses, the system follows different pathways of dewetting. The instability may be driven by varicose or zigzag mode...
